Full casting announced for David Storey's HOME at Chichester Festival Theatre

Full casting has been announced for Chichester Festival Theatre’s revival of David Storey’s award-winning play HOME, running at the Minerva Theatre from 8 October – 6 November.

Directed by Josh Roche, the piece will star Leon Annor (As You Like It; National Theatre) as Alfred, Hayley Carmichael (co-founder of Told By An Idiot) as Kathleen, Daniel Cerqueira (Richard III; Almeida Theatre) as Harry, Doña Croll (Pride and Prejudice; Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre) as Marjorie and John Mackay (Six Characters in Search of an Author; Chichester Festival Theatre) as Jack.

Harry and Jack. Marjorie and Kathleen. Alfred.

In a neglected garden, small talk oscillates between the weather, the neighbours, reminiscences of friends and family, and anecdotes of past exploits in love and war.

But this quintet of characters, with their foibles and failings, are not what they seem to be, and nor is their home. And overhead, the clouds are gathering.

HOME has become a modern classic – a heartrendingly funny, haunting and deeply humane study of hearts, minds and England: islands adrift.

The production is designed by Sophie Thomas, with lighting by Alex Musgrave, and sound by Sam Glossop.
